. Another day, another set of lies from Holtec, the company decommissioning both the Indian Point and the Oyster Creek nuclear plants. Exactly how does a package get delivered & “no individuals or members of the public were exposed to the radiation”? https://t.co/mYrXZEESHl

The material had radiation levels measured at double the federal limit.

JD’s lies don’t stop at fake cat memes. Perhaps he was chosen as T’s running mate due to his experience writing fiction:
It’s a shame Republicans in Congress feel the need to lie all the time. As someone who voted for the Inflation Reduction Act, which capped the cost of insulin, I can tell you that no Republican voted for it. VP Harris broke the tie and President Biden signed it into law.

UPDATE: I just got out of jail and this is my testimony: Women are 14X more likely than men to be killed by climate disasters and those that live are far more likely to be forced into caregiving roles as a result. The climate crisis is a feminist issue.
BREAKING: Dozens of feminists arrested outside @Citi CEO Jane Fraser's home in Manhattan. Fraser is torching our planet. We fight for liberation. We fight to live.

So, when anyone says "we need new nuclear," just reply "investing the same money instead in solar PV produces 5.3 x the energy over 65 years" That is due to the higher capital cost (15.7 x) and longer delays between planning + operation (17-20 y vs 1-3 y) of nuclear
@herrbrendan $35 bil buys 35 GW of PV x 8760h/y x 23.2% CF in GA= 71.1 TWh/yr of PV 2.23 GW of nuc x 8,760h/y x 0.9 CF = 17.6 TWh/yr of nuc -> Vogtle has cost Georgia 53.5 TWh/y going forward, and 71.1 TWh/y for the past 15 y since Vogtle was planned 2006+PV could have started 2008

. It’s unfortunate that nearly every ‘pro-nuke’ promoter avoids reading about the subject. They follow in the path of climate deniers, claiming that a particular ‘expert’ supports the industry - while many of the world’s top climate/environmental scientists strongly disagree!

@NSVann Yikes -- imagine the magnitude of non-compliant nuclear wastes Holtec would have gleefully dumped in the Hudson (for decades to come) had New York not enacted necessary prohibitions against such nihilistic --- but profitable -- practices!
